The surface and groundwater resources are depleting over time, therefore, it becomes essential to monitor and preserve these resources and also to protect their quality. Remote sensing and GIS has become an important tool of hydrological studies in recent times which helps in assessing and mapping of ground-water resources. The remote sensing and GIS approach are well known and widely used techniques to integrate contributing hydrogeological factors namely, geology, geomorphology, lineaments density, drainage density, soil type, slope and land use/land cover. A study was conducted to delineate the groundwater potential zones in a part of Sidhi area, Madhya Pradesh using remote sensing and GIS techniques. Landsat 8 satellite data and Aster DEM is integrated with toposheets for systematic mapping. All thematic layers were integrated, overlaid and analysed using GIS software. Groundwater potential zone is delineated and to interpret thematic layer, appropriate weights assigned to topographical features for assessing the potential zone. The zones are divided into high, moderate and low groundwater potential zones. The study reveals that 21.36% of the area has high potential, 48.12% moderate and 30.51% low potential zone for groundwater occurrence. The result of this study suggests that the favourable potential zones would prove to be very helpful for better planning and management of groundwater resources in the study area.

使用地理空间方法划定中央邦 Sidhi 地区地下水潜在区的综合研究

随着时间的推移，地表和地下水资源正在枯竭，因此，监测和保护这些资源并保护它们的质量变得至关重要。近年来，遥感和地理信息系统已成为水文研究的重要工具，有助于地下水资源的评估和制图。遥感和 GIS 方法是众所周知且广泛使用的技术，用于整合有影响的水文地质因素，即地质、地貌、线条密度、排水密度、土壤类型、坡度和土地利用/土地覆盖。使用遥感和 GIS 技术进行了一项研究，以描绘中央邦 Sidhi 地区部分地区的地下水潜力区。Landsat 8 卫星数据和 Aster DEM 与地形图集成，用于系统制图。整合了所有主题层，使用 GIS 软件进行叠加和分析。地下水潜在区被划定并解释专题层，分配给地形特征的适当权重以评估潜在区。这些区域分为高、中、低地下水潜力区。研究表明，该地区21.36%的地区具有高潜力地下水，48.12%的中等和30.51%的低潜力地下水发生区。这项研究的结果表明，有利的潜在区域将证明对研究区地下水资源的更好规划和管理非常有帮助。中低地下水潜力区。研究表明，该地区21.36%的区域具有高潜力，48.12%的中等和30.51%的低潜力地下水存在区。这项研究的结果表明，有利的潜在区域将证明对研究区地下水资源的更好规划和管理非常有帮助。中低地下水潜力区。研究表明，该地区21.36%的地区具有高潜力地下水，48.12%的中等和30.51%的低潜力地下水发生区。这项研究的结果表明，有利的潜在区域将证明对研究区地下水资源的更好规划和管理非常有帮助。
